Everything you need to know about chlorine, washes and treatments
The chlorine is essential for keeping swimming pool water clean and sanitized, but it has an effect that is anything but friendly to our hair. Brittle, dry, dull and difficult to comb-these are the most common signs of hair frequently exposed to chlorine.
To help you take care of your hair after swimming, we've collected the most frequently asked questions and added our tips.
Is it true that chlorine turns hair green?
Yes, but not for everyone! The green effect is most noticeable on the blond hair, natural or bleached. It is not the chlorine itself that causes it, but the residues of copper and metals in the water which, binding to the sensitized hair fiber, create that greenish glow. Using a anti-chlorine shampoo and a specific neutralizer after each swim in the pool helps prevent this annoying effect.
That's why the Chlorine protective anti-chlorine, specifically for those who frequently frequent swimming pools and like to take care of their hair.
S22 is the anti-chlorine protective neutralizing shampoo line, which helps actively counteract these effects by canceling stresses and protecting the hair with a conditioning film that also promotes optimal moisture levels.
N22 is the anti-chlorine neutralizer in spray. Formulated to cancel the effects of chlorine and other environmental impurities from the body and hair, helps to actively counteract these effects by protecting hair and skin with conditioning actives and moisturizers.
How often do I wash my hair if I swim every day?
The most common mistake is to think that frequent washing will ruin your hair. In reality, if you use SLS & SLES free gentle shampoos, specially formulated to remove chlorine and impurities, hair will remain healthy and moisturized even with daily washing. It is best to avoid harsh shampoos and prefer those with plant-based surfactants and moisturizing ingredients. Why? Read the #beautyblog in which we explain the natural surfactants, gentle and dermocompatible.
Does chlorine also ruin the color of dyed hair?
Absolutely. Chlorine tends to fade pigments and make highlights dull, especially on blond, red or dark shades. A good post-pool neutralizing treatment such as N22 helps preserve color brilliance and keep hair shiny for longer.
What to do immediately after getting out of the water?
The best advice is: don't wait. Rinse your hair with fresh water immediately after bathing, apply S22 anti-chlorine shampoo to remove residues and complete the routine with the neutralizing spray N22, which moisturizes and protects hair (and even skin) from environmental stresses.
Enjoy the pool...and your protected hair!
